It is night when the people come back. I ask them question after question but they ignore me and lay out food in front of me. One, a man, tries to arrange the soup bowl nearest to me but I grab his hand. "I will not ask again, why am I here?" I ask, anger rising into my soul. He looks distressed and I grow even angrier. "Why am I here? Answer me!" he screams and I let go, clutching my hand to my body. Stryker, along with four men is suits storm in. "Did I do that?" I ask him. "Yes, you did. It would appear when you get angry the person you are touching feels intense pain and freezes." He replies. I gasp and stare at my hands. "I'm-I'm a monster." I say, tears slipping from my eyes. They reach my cheeks when they freeze. "Yes, and you are a weapon. You're training will began tomorrow." He announces and leaves, his men carting a frozen man after them. I stare at my hands again and scream, "I'm a monster!" Coldness seeps from my skin and freezes the walls around me. "I-I'm a monster." I whisper, over again and over again, rocking back and forth. Slowly I fade into a darkness that I welcome, but unlike my usual peaceful sleep, I am plagued by a nightmare.
